I put all this stuff in .xinitrc (I don't use a desktop).
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Alt_L"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 91 = Delete"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = F13"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 134 = F14"
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = F15"
exec icewm-session
Of course, you need to run xev to see which keycode is actually being
generated by Alt-R (108 in my case).
